din's blog

So, hopefully everyone got the invite I sent for the bday festivities using anyvite.com (if you didn't, let me know and I'll resend).  Heard about it via one of Laura's friends and having messed around with it, I think it's better than evite by a large margin.

It's got a sweet new ajax'd interface, account creation is super quick, and there aren't the annoying ads / hoops that you have to jump through to use it (unlike evite).  It's clearly still in beta so there's little things that they're working on (like better privacy controls), but I think the overall package is worth dealing with the little issues. 

Oh, when you add the location, it will add the google maps link automatically and when you click on the link, it'll dynamically place it on the main page.  It also has options for adding the event directly to your google calendar via openauth. 

It facilitates migration from evite as well with some pretty nifty tools for bringing over guest lists.  Also, it has super cute icons!

So, I hope we all switch from evite.  woot.

Ok, going to try to get back on the blogging bandwagon.  Might just use my own blog instead of vox.  Not sure yet.

Been a busy weekend and it's only been friday.  Went to dinner at Bar Pilar with Laura and Jenn, then met xyt and Matt Thomas at DC9.  Tonight, there's a bday party and show at 930 club.  Then tomorrow, I'm getting dragged to root for the eagles with a bunch of friends from philly.

woot

For me, the word pineapple always makes me think of quake as that was a term associated with grenades. In pineapple express, it refers to weed.

Anyway, thanks to becca for the preview. As my twit said, the first two hires were hilarious while I found the last act lacking. I think it just felt like they ran out of jokes and decided to shoehorn an action sequence onto the movie to wrap things up.

I did super appreciate the little touches and object placement. Two that stood out were the footprints poster in James Franco's place and the bartles & james bottles in red's bathroom.

Sigh, I was trying to post this from my iphone, but I can't figure out how to scroll a textbox up/down.  Meh.

Anyway, it's worth seeing for the buddy/weed jokes.

so the volume button on my iPhone sticks. Went to the apple store in fair oaks and they ordered a replacement. So that'll be coming Monday or Tuesday. Need to deal with backing up my contacts in yahoo I think. Also all the downloadable apps don't start and power cycling doesn't seem to fix it. Deleting and re-installing seems to work however. Yay gadgets. I still want to make put with my phone.

Victory!  Only had to get up at 5:30am yesterday to get my black 16gb from tysons.  Woot!

I want to make out with my phone, it's so awesome.  So, anyone have some reccomended apps?

I've already installed:

smugshot (for viewing smugmug galleries of my photos)
city guide (created by wapo and ties into all their reviews)
remote
google
all the google apps
flashlight / mylite (turns it into an expensive flashlight)
sportstap (sports scores)
shazam (music recog)
yelp (restaurant reviews)
boxoffice (movies)
labyrinth LE (game)
tap tap revenge (game)

It's a sad day.  I canceled my world of warcraft accounts today.

Ok, going to take another stab at keeping this updated.  Although it looks like most people have abandoned it.

Over on the selectbutton forums, someone translated a thread from 2ch.net that just has to be viewed (post has more pics of the setup).

Some relevant links pulled from the post:

• Amazon.co.jp link for the tv (which costs more than the wii for whatever reason)
  
• YouTube link of him using the wii on the tiny tiny tv
